It looks like we will be at home for a long time!!!! For one LAST time we are opening the school for ALL students to come and get their books. Please take this opportunity (your LAST opportunity) to come and collect ALL you books. Do not leave ONE book or copybook in school.

The school will be open from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm on Friday 27MAR2020. There will be NO one to help you, all staff will have gone home. All classrooms will be open but the school will be empty. If you meet anyone in the school (other parents) please observe the rules of social distancing : a minimum of 2m!

Several parents have been in contact with me today about the problem of printing out the worksheets when print shops and libraries are closed.

The school will print out any worksheets that you need. You only have to send them as PDF attachments in an email to admin@lesbg.com and they will be ready within 24 hours of your email. Hopefully less! Pickup is between 8:00 am an 2:00 pm. If you have many worksheets, send them as many attachments in ONE email. Please make sure the subject of the email is : DLP Print Please

Due to an software malfunction the last minute of the 2:00 pm Livestream today did not make it to the stream. It died.

Thank you for watching!!!!!!!

Further to the announcement last Friday by the Ministry of Education, the school will be closed from Monday 16MAR2020 until Friday 20MAR2020.

We are also shutting the school facilities down completely and will be running only the following services from midnight tonight, Sunday 15MAR2020 :

General Office hours : The Junior Department building will be shut completely. All enquiries will have to be directed to the Senior Administration which will be open every day for phone enquiries only from 8:00 am until 2:00 pm. No visitors or appointments will take place this coming week. We will only respond to phone calls.

Accounting Office hours : The Accounting Office will be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 8:00 am and 12:00 noon.

The Distance Learning Project (DLP) is ongoing as teachers continue to post videos and worksheets through our internet portal LESSON (lesson.lesbg.com). All students will be fully responsible for all the material that has been covered in the videos posted by their teachers. The material in the videos will not be retaught.

There seems a strong possibility that in the near future the government will announce that unnecessary travel will be stopped. If any students need to get books or materials from school they can do so this evening, Sunday 15MAR2020, between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm. They will not be allowed to come to school again to get any books or materials.

Tomorrow, Monday 16MAR2020 at 2:00 pm, I will be making an important announcement to all students via Livestream on YouTube. The URL for this broadcast is https://youtu.be/zlQZXwdKxmo

Keep praying. A tiny virus, unseen by the human eye, has brought the world to its knees. We ask Him to be merciful to us, our school, our community and our country and rely on His unfailing love.

As a school and staff we have been working hard over the last 5 days to provide videos and distance learning classes to the students in our school. All these have been communicated to students via our internet learning portal, LESSON.

Please make sure that you log on regularly to download and watch the videos that have been prepared. Any questions that students might have about the content of the videos must be communicated to their teachers via detailed written questions. All the work that has been covered in these virtual learning classes will NOT be covered again and will be examined once we return to school, whenever that may be.

There have even been exercises prepared by the Infant Department teachers. Exact details of how to access these will be communicated within the next 48 hours by SMS to parents of infant students.

Lebanon is in a difficult place at the moment. Please continue to pray with us that the Great King will show mercy at this hour of our great need.
